FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to compounds capable of inhibiting the kinase activity of cyclin dependent kinases such as CDK4 and CDK6, and compositions that include compounds that inhibit cyclin dependent kinases. The present invention also relates to compounds capable of inhibiting the kinase activity of FLT3, and compositions that include compounds that inhibit FLT3. The compounds and compositions may be used to treat various diseases or conditions modulated by these kinases such as cancer and are especially useful in treating patients with cancers.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) represents a significant unmet medical need. It is a hematological malignancy characterized by a block in differentiation and aberrant proliferation of the myeloid lineage of hematopoietic progenitor cells. There are approximately 13,000 new cases and 9,000 deaths per year in the United States. The survival rate is 25-70% in patients younger than 60 years and 5-15% in older patients, with worse outcomes in patients with poor risk cytogenetics. Current standard of care treatment is daunorubicin and cytarabine chemotherapy with induction and consolidation phases. Bone marrow stem cell transplant is also used for treating AML in younger patients.

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are a family of serine/threonine protein kinases playing important cellular functions. The cyclins are the regulatory subunits that activate the catalytic CDKs. CDK1/Cyclin B1, CDK2/Cyclin A, CDK2/Cyclin E, CDK4/Cyclin D, CDK6/Cyclin D are critical regulators of cell cycle progression. CDKs also regulate transcription, DNA repair, differentiation, senescence and apoptosis (Morgan, D. O., Annu. Rev. Cell. Dev. Biol., 13:261-291 (1997)).

Small molecule inhibitors of CDKs have been developed to treat cancer (de Carcer, G. et al., Curr. Med. Chem., 14:969-85 (2007)). A large amount of genetic evidence supports that CDKs, their substrates or regulators have been shown to be associated with many human cancers (Malumbres, M. et al, Nature Rev. Cancer, 1:222-231 (2001)). Endogenous protein inhibitors of CDKs including p16, p21 and p27 inhibit CDK activity and their overexpression results in cell cycle arrest and inhibition of tumor growth in preclinical models (Kamb, A., Curr. Top. Microbiolo. Immunol., 227:139-148 (1998)).

Small molecule inhibitors of CDKs may also be used to treat variety of other diseases that result from aberrant cell proliferation, including cardiovascular disorders, renal diseases, certain infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases. Cell proliferation pathways including genes involved in the cell cycle G1 and S phase checkpoint (p53, pRb, p15, p16, and Cyclins A, D, E, CDK 2 and CDK4) have been associated with plaque progression, stenosis and restenosis after angioplasty. Over-expression of the CDK inhibitor protein p21 has been shown to inhibit vascular smooth muscle proliferation and intimal hyperplasia following angioplasty (Chang, M. W. et al., J. Clin. Invest., 96:2260 (1995); Yang, Z-Y. et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (USA) 93:9905 (1996)). A small molecule CDK2 inhibitor CVT-313 (Ki=95 nM) was shown to cause significant inhibition of neointima formation in animal models (Brooks, E. E. et al., J. Biol. Chem., 272:29207-29211 (1997)). Disregulation of cell cycle has been associated with polycystic kidney diseases, which are characterized by the growth of fluid-filled cysts in renal tubules. Treatment with small molecule inhibitors of CDKs yielded effective arrest of cystic disease in mouse models (Bukanov, N. O., et al., Nature, 4444:949-952 (2006)). Infection by a variety of infectious agents, including fungi, protozoan parasites such as Plasmodium falciparum, and DNA and RNA viruses may be treated with CDK inhibitors. CDKs have been shown to be required for replication of herpes simplex virus (HSV) (Schang, L. M. et al., J. Virol., 72:5626 (1998)). Synovial tissue hyperplasia plays important roles in the development of rheumatoid arthritis; inhibition of synovial tissue proliferation may suppress inflammation and prevent joint destruction. It has been shown that over-expression of CDK inhibitor protein p16 inhibited synovial fibroblast growth (Taniguchi, K. et al., Nat. Med., 5:760-767 (1999)) and joint swelling was substantially inhibited in animal arthritis models.

Selective inhibitors of some CDKs may also be used to protect normal untransformed cells by inhibiting specific phases of cell cycle progression (Chen, et al., J. Natl. Cancer Institute, 92:1999-2008 (2000)). Pre-treatment with a selective CDK inhibitor prior to the use of a cytotoxic agent that inhibits a different phase of the cell cycle may reduce the side effects associated with the cytotoxic chemotherapy and possibly increase the therapeutic widow. It has been shown that induction of cellular protein inhibitors of CDKs (p16, p27 and p21) conferred strong resistance to paclitaxel- or cisplatin-mediated cytotoxicity on the inhibitor-responsive cells but not on the inhibitor-unresponsive cells (Schmidt, M, Oncogene, 2001 20:6164-71).

CDK4 and CDK6 are two functionally indistinguishable cyclin D dependent kinases. They are widely expressed with high levels of expression observed in cells of hematopoeitic lineage (CDK4/6 will be used throughout this document to reference both CDK4 and CDK6). CDK4/6 promotes G1-S transition of the cell cycle by phosphorylating the retinoblastoma protein (Rb). CDK4 and CDK6 single knockout mice are viable and double knockout mice die around birth with defective hematopoiesis (Satyanarayana, A. et al., Oncogene, 28:2925-39 (2009); Malumbres, M. et al., Cell, 118:493-504 (2004)). Strong evidence supports a significant involvement of the cyclin D-CDK4-p16^(INK4A)-Rb pathway in cancer development (Malumbres, M. et al., Nature Rev. Cancer, 1:222-31 (2001)). Rb negatively regulates the cell cycle at G1 by sequestering E2F proteins that are required for initiation of S phase. p16^(INK4A) is a key member of the INK4 family of CDK4/6 cellular inhibitors. The genes for Rb and p16^(INK4A) are tumor suppressors that are often deleted or silenced in cancer cells. Additionally CDK4, CDK6 and cyclin D are reported to be amplified in hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. The importance of this pathway in oncogenesis is further supported by the finding that depletion or inactivation of CDK4 inhibits tumor growth in mouse tumor models (Yu, Q. et al., Cancer Cell, 9:23-32 (2006); Puyol, M. Cancer Cell, 18:63-73 (2010)). Rb and p16^(INK4A) are rarely deleted in AML. However, the p15^(INK4B) gene, another member of the INK4 family, has been reported to be down regulated by hypermethylation in up to 60% of AML (Naofumi, M. et al., Leukemia Res., 29:557-64 (2005); Drexler, H. G. Leukemia, 12:845-59 (1998); Herman, J. G. et al., Cancer Res., 57:837-41 (1997)), suggesting a possible critical role for CDK4/6 in AML cells.

FLT3 (Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3, FLK2) is a class III receptor tyrosine kinase. It is activated by the FLT3 ligand (FL) and signals through the PI3K, RAS, and JAK/STAT pathways (Scholl C. et al., Semin. Oncol., 35:336-45 (2008); Meshinchi S. et al., Clin. Cancer Res., 15:4263-9 (2009)). FLT3 plays a role in early hematopoiesis and FLT3 deficient mice have reduced numbers of progenitors of multiple lymphoid lineages (Mackarehtschian K, et al., Immunity, 3:147-61 (1995). Activating mutations in FLT3 are found in approximately 30% of AML patients, representing the most frequent genetic alteration in the disease. About 75% of the activating mutations are internal tandem duplications (ITD) and 25% are point mutations in the activation loop of the kinase domain. The most frequently identified activating point mutation is D835Y (Yamamoto et al., Blood, 97(8): 2434-2439 (2001)). However, mutations have also been found at N841I (Jiang, J. et al., Blood, 104(6): 1855-1858 (2004)) and Y842C (Kindler et al., Blood, 105(1): 335-340 (2005)). Additional point mutations have been identified in the juxtamembrane domain and kinase domain, although these have been shown to result in lower transforming potential (Reindel et al., Blood 107(9): 3700-3707 (2006)).

Murine bone marrow transplanted with a retrovirus expressing the FLT3-ITD has been shown to result in the production of a lethal myeloproliferative disease in mice (Kelly et al., Blood 99: 310-318 (2002)) characterized by leukocytosis consisting of mature neutrophils. This disease did not show a block in differentiation as seen in human AML suggesting that FLT3 mutations confer a proliferative or survival advantage to the cells. Additional oncogene mutation producing a block in differentiation such as AML1/ETO is hypothesized to be required to produce disease that is more similar to human AML.

A number of FLT3 inhibitors have been tested in clinical trials. Although they have shown initial clinical responses in AML, the responses observed were transient and resistance can develop rapidly (Weisberg, E. et al., Oncogene, 29:5120-34 (2010)). The major resistance mechanism appears to be through the acquisition of secondary mutations in FLT3, which may interfere with the binding of FLT3 inhibitors to the FLT3 receptor (Weisberg, E. et al., Oncogene, 29:5120-34 (2010); Chu, S. H. et al., Drug Resist. Update, 12:8-16 (2009)). One such resistance mutation (N676K) was identified in a patient at the time of clinical relapse while on multi-kinase FLT3 inhibitor midostaurin (PKC412) monotherapy (Heidel, F. et al., Blood, 107:293-300 (2006)). Combinations of FLT3 inhibitors with chemotherapy are being tested in clinical trials despite the recognition that chemotherapy is poorly tolerated. Additional possible mechanisms for lack of durable responses include inadequate target coverage (Pratz, K. W., et al., Blood, 139:3938-46 (2009)) and protection of AML cells in the bone marrow where stromal growth factors may provide proliferative signals in addition to FLT3 activation (Tam, W. F. et al., Best Pract. Res. Clin. Haematol., 21:13-20 (2008)) Inhibitors with combined FLT3 and CDK4/6 inhibitory activities are novel and may prove beneficial in treating various cancers including, but not limited to, AML.

In some such embodiments, the subject is a human patient with mutant FLT3 such as a patient with FLT3-ITD positive acute myeloid leukemia. In some such embodiments, the method may also include determining whether the patient has FLT3-ITD positive acute myeloid leukemia. For example, such a method might include obtaining a sample from a patient and analyzing whether the sample is FLT3-ITD positive. In other such embodiments, the subject is a human patient with wild type FLT3 acute myeloid leukemia. In another embodiment, the cancer is acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In other embodiments, the cancer is selected from breast cancer, colorectal cancer, small cell lung carcinoma, head and neck, glioblastoma, pancreatic, gastrointestinal, liver, prostate, ovarian, testicular, endometrial, bladder, melanoma, osteosarcoma, or another sarcoma. In some embodiments, the cancer is Rb-positive whereas in other embodiments, the cancer is not Rb-positive. In some embodiments, the subject is a mammal, and in some embodiments, is a human cancer patient. In some such embodiments, the cancer is a hematological cancer. In other embodiments, the cancer is a solid tumor.

As noted above, the compounds of the invention have been found to be active in cancer cells, for example acute myeloid leukemia cells, that are both wild type and mutant with respect to FLT3. Therefore, in some embodiments, the invention provides methods for treating cancer in patients with wild type FLT3 whereas in other embodiments, the invention provides methods for treating cancer in patients with mutant FLT3. Such methods typically include administering to a subject such as a human cancer patient an effective amount of the compound, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, the hydrate thereof, or the mixture thereof of any of the embodiments or a pharmaceutical composition of any of the embodiments. In some such embodiments, the cancer is acute myeloid leukemia.

In some embodiments, a tumor that exhibits low p15^(INK4B) and/or low p16^(INK4A) expression is determined using an assay that measures the levels of these proteins or mRNA or both and compares them to the levels in a normal myeloid tumor. This method could also be used for other tumor types. A tumor that contains less of the p15^(INK4B) and/or p16^(INK4A) proteins or mRNA or both than is found in a normal cell would be one that exhibits low p15^(INK4B) and/or p^(INK4A) expression.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Unless otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients, reaction conditions, and so forth used in the specification and claims are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term “about.” Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters set forth in the following specification and attached claims are approximations that may vary depending upon the standard deviation found in their respective testing measurements.

As used herein, if any variable occurs more than one time in a chemical formula, its definition on each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. If the chemical structure and chemical name conflict, the chemical structure is determinative of the identity of the compound. The compounds of the present disclosure may contain one or more chiral centers and/or double bonds and therefore, may exist as stereoisomers, such as double-bond isomers (i.e., geometric isomers), enantiomers or diastereomers. Accordingly, any chemical structures within the scope of the specification depicted, in whole or in part, with a relative configuration encompass all possible enantiomers and stereoisomers of the illustrated compounds including the stereoisomerically pure form (e.g., geometrically pure, enantiomerically pure or diastereomerically pure) and enantiomeric and stereoisomeric mixtures. Enantiomeric and stereoisomeric mixtures can be resolved into the component enantiomers or stereoisomers using separation techniques or chiral synthesis techniques well known to the skilled artisan.

Certain compounds of the invention may possess asymmetric carbon atoms (optical centers) or double bonds; the racemates, enantiomers, diastereomers, geometric isomers and individual isomers are all intended to be encompassed within the scope of the invention. Furthermore, atropisomers and mixtures thereof such as those resulting from restricted rotation about two aromatic or heteroaromatic rings bonded to one another are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the invention. As noted above, various compounds of the invention may contain one or more chiral centers, and can exist as racemic mixtures of enantiomers, mixtures of diastereomers or enantiomerically or optically pure compounds. This invention encompasses the use of stereomerically pure forms of such compounds, as well as the use of mixtures of those forms. For example, mixtures comprising equal or unequal amounts of the enantiomers of a particular compound of the invention may be used in methods and compositions of the invention. These isomers may be asymmetrically synthesized or resolved using standard techniques such as chiral columns or chiral resolving agents. See, e.g., Jacques, J., et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley-Interscience, New York, 1981); Wilen, S. H., et al. (1997) Tetrahedron 33:2725; Eliel, E. L., Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, N.Y., 1962); and Wilen, S. H., Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p. 268 (E. L. Eliel, Ed., Univ. of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, Ind., 1972).

As used herein and unless otherwise indicated, the term “stereoisomer” or “stereomerically pure” means one stereoisomer of a compound that is substantially free of other stereoisomers of that compound. For example, a stereomerically pure compound having one chiral center will be substantially free of the opposite enantiomer of the compound. A stereomerically pure compound having two chiral centers will be substantially free of other diastereomers of the compound. A typical stereomerically pure compound comprises greater than about 80% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 20% by weight of other stereoisomers of the compound, more preferably greater than about 90% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 10% by weight of the other stereoisomers of the compound, even more preferably greater than about 95% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 5% by weight of the other stereoisomers of the compound, and most preferably greater than about 97% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 3% by weight of the other stereoisomers of the compound. If the stereochemistry of a structure or a portion of a structure is not indicated with, for example, bold or dashed lines, the structure or portion of the structure is to be interpreted as encompassing all stereoisomers of it. A bond drawn with a wavy line indicates that both stereoisomers are encompassed.

As known by those skilled in the art, certain compounds of the invention may exist in one or more tautomeric forms. Because one chemical structure may only be used to represent one tautomeric form, it will be understood that for convenience, referral to a compound of a given structural formula includes tautomers of the structure represented by the structural formula. The same is true with respect to stereoisomers unless a specific stereochemistry is shown or noted. For example, a compound of a specific formula includes all stereoisomers or mixtures thereof. Similarly, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound includes pharmaceutically acceptable salts of all individual stereoisomers or mixtures thereof.

As noted above, prodrugs also fall within the scope of chemical entities, for example, ester or amide derivatives of the compounds of Formula I. The term “prodrugs” includes any compounds that become compounds of Formula I when administered to a patient, e.g., upon metabolic processing of the prodrug. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, acetate, formate, benzoate, carbomethoxy, carboethoxy and like derivatives of functional groups (such as alcohol, carboxylic acid, ether, ester, or amine groups) in the compounds of Formula I.

The term “solvate” refers to the compound formed by the interaction of a solvent and a compound. Suitable solvates are pharmaceutically acceptable solvates, such as hydrates, including monohydrates and hemi-hydrates. The term hydrate refers to monohydrates, dihydrates, and trihydrates.

The compounds of the invention may also contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of the atoms that constitute such compounds. For example, the compounds may be radiolabeled with radioactive isotopes, such as for example tritium (³H), iodine-125 (¹²⁵I) or carbon-14 (¹⁴C). Radiolabeled compounds are useful as therapeutic or prophylactic agents, research reagents, e.g., assay reagents such as the ¹⁴C thymidine incorporation assay, and diagnostic agents, e.g., in vivo imaging agents. All isotopic variations of the compounds of the invention, whether radioactive or not, are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the invention. For example, if a variable is said to be H or —H, this means that the variable may also be deuterium (D) or tritium (T).

As used herein, the terms “comprising” and “including” and other forms of these words are used herein in their open, non-limiting sense. For example, if a composition is said to comprise A, B, and C, then A, B, and C are in the composition, but D, E, and/or F may be in the composition as well.

“CDK4” refers to cyclin dependent kinase 4. Cyclin dependent kinases are a family of serine/threonine kinases that play important roles in cellular function and cell cycle progression. CDK4 is a catalytic subunit of the protein kinase complex that is important for cell cycle G1 phase progression. The activity of CDK4 is restricted to the G1-S phase, which is controlled by the regulatory subunits D-type cyclins and CDK inhibitor p16^(INK4A). CDK4 has been demonstrated to be responsible for the phosphorylation of retinoblastoma gene product (Rb). Mutations in this gene as well as in its related proteins including D-type cyclins, p16^(INK4A) and Rb have all been found to be associated with tumorigenesis in a variety of cancers.

“CDK6” refers to cyclin dependent kinase 6. Cyclin dependent kinases are a family of serine/threonine kinases that play important roles in cellular function and cell cycle progression. CDK6 is a catalytic subunit of a protein kinase complex important for cell cycle G1 phase progression and G1/S transition. The activity of CDK6 first appears mid-G1 phase, which is controlled by the regulatory subunits including D-type cyclins and members of INK4 family of CDK inhibitors. CDK6 kinase has also been shown to phosphorylate, and thus regulate the activity of, tumor suppressor protein Rb.

“FLT3” refers to FMS-like receptor tyrosine kinase. FLT3 is a member of the class III tyrosine kinase receptor family. Structural features of this family include an extracellular domain containing five immunoglobulin-like domains, a transmembrane domain a juxtamembrane domain and an intracellular region containing tyrosine kinase activity. Several mutations in FLT3 have been identified and shown to result in constitutive activation of the receptor. In acute myeloid leukemia, these mutations are the most common genetic alteration associated with the disease, making up approximately 25% of patients with AML. FLT3 has been shown to phosphorylate and regulate the activity of STAT5.

“FLT3-ITD” refers to FLT3 internal tandem duplication. FLT3-ITD is a somatic mutation in acute myeloid leukemia with variation in the position, length, and number of duplications of the FLT3 gene. A patient with FLT3-ITD positive acute myeloid leukemia is a patient with acute myeloid leukemia in which the FLT3 gene exhibits this duplication.

The phrase “Rb-positive” refers to cells that express a functional retinoblastoma (Rb) protein. Rb is a tumor suppressor that regulates progression of cells through the cell cycle at the G1-S transition. Phosphorylation of Rb regulates its activity. When Rb is in a hypophosphorylated state, it prevents cell cycle progression and allows it to carry out its tumor suppressor function. Many cancer cells have been shown to contain mutated or deleted Rb.

The term “alkyl” refers to a saturated, branched or straight-chain monovalent hydrocarbon group derived by the removal of one hydrogen atom from a single carbon atom of a parent alkane. Typical alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, methyl (—CH₃); ethyl (—CH₂CH₃); propyls such as propan-1-yl (—CH₂CH₂CH₃), and propan-2-yl (—CH(CH₂)₂); and butyls such as butan-1-yl (—CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃), butan-2-yl, —CH(CH₃)CH₂CH₃ 2-methyl-propan-1-yl (—CH₂CH(CH₃)₂, 2-methyl-propan-2-yl (—C(CH₃)₃), and tert-butyl (—C(CH₃)₃); and the like.

The same designation system applies to alkyl groups with different numbers of carbon atoms. Alkyl groups may be substituted or may be unsubstituted. In some embodiments, alkyl groups are unsubstituted. In other embodiments, an alkyl group may be substituted with one or more substituents. For example, in some embodiments, an alkyl group may be substituted with 1, 2 or 3 substituents whereas in another embodiment, an alkyl group may, where permitted by valence, be substituted with 1 to 5 substituents.

The term “alkoxy” refers to a radical —OR where R represents a straight or branched chain alkyl group as defined above.

Other alkoxy groups may be represented using the same methodology.

The term “carboxy” refers to the radical —C(O)OH which may alternatively be written as —C(═O)OH, —C(═O)—OH, —COOH or —CO₂H. When the H atom of a carboxy group is removed and replaced with a bond to an alkyl group, the group may be written as —C(═O)—O-alkyl. Typical such groups include alkyl groups with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, 1 to 6 carbon atoms, 1 to 4 carbon atoms, 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or 1 to 2 carbon atoms. —C(═O)—O-alkyl groups that include alkyl groups with 1 to 6 carbon atoms may be designated as —C(═O)—O—(C₁-C₆ alkyl) groups. Similarly, such groups that include alkyl groups with 1 to 4 or 1 to 3 carbon atoms may be respectively designated as —C(═O)—O—(C₁-C₄ alkyl) and —C(═O)—O—(C₁-C₃ alkyl) groups. Other such groups may be represented using the same methodology.

The term “carbonyl” refers to a radical —C(═O)—. Carbonyl groups may be bonded to alkyl groups and written as —C(═O)-alkyl groups where alkyl has the meaning set forth above.

Therefore, in some embodiments, the FLT3 mutant is FLT3-ITD. In other embodiments, the FLT3 mutant is FLT3-D835Y. In still other embodiments, the FLT3 mutant is FLT3-D835H. In other embodiments, the FLT3 mutant is FLT3-D835V. In still other embodiments, the FLT3 mutant is FLT3-K663Q. In still further such embodiments, the FLT3 mutant is FLT3-N841I. In some such embodiments, the method may include determining whether the patient has mutant FLT3 acute myeloid leukemia. For example, such a method might include obtaining a sample from a patient and analyzing whether the sample tests positive for one or more FLT3 mutant. In some embodiments, the method includes administering to a subject an effective amount of the compound, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, the hydrate thereof, or the mixture thereof of any of the embodiments or a pharmaceutical composition of any of the embodiments where the patient is a human cancer patient with mutant FLT3 and in some such embodiments is a human cancer patient with acute myeloid leukemia.

In some methods of treating cancer, the patient is a human cancer patient with a solid or hematological tumor in which the tumor exhibits low p 15^(INK4B) and/or low p16^(INK4A) expression and in some such embodiments is a human patient with acute myeloid leukemia where the tumor exhibits low p15^(INK4B) and/or low p16^(INK4A) expression. In some embodiments, a tumor that exhibits low p15^(INK4B) and/or low p16^(INK4A) expression is determined using an assay that measures the levels of these proteins or mRNA or both and compares them to the levels in a normal myeloid tumor. This method could also be used for other tumor types. A tumor that contains less of the p15^(INK4B) and/or p16^(INK4A) proteins or mRNA or both than is found in a normal cell would be one that exhibits low p15^(INK4B) and/or p16^(INK4A) expression. In some embodiments, the tumor includes less than 90%, less than 80%, less than 70%, less than 60%, or less than 50% of p15^(INK4B) and/or p16^(INK4A) than occurs in a normal cell such as a C34⁺ cell taken from healthy bone marrow.

Various assays may be used to evaluate whether a particular patient has wild type or mutant FLT3. For example, LabPMM (San Diego, Calif.), a subsidiary of Invivoscribe Technologies, Inc. (San Diego, Calif.) is a commercial source providing assay services such as FLT3-ITD and D835 mutation assays. Such assays may be used in accordance with the invention to screen patients or determine whether a patient, such as a patient with acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndrome has or tests positive for FLT3 mutations such as FLT3-ITD or for mutations in the codon for the aspartic acid residue at position 835 (D835) in the FLT3 kinase domain such as in the FLT3-D835Y and FLT3-D-835H mutations.

The assay described in this publication is a quantitative assay of p15 mRNA expression in the bone marrow cells using real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Furthermore, this references describes the quantification of p15 mRNA expression in normal controls.

Assays for determining p16 mRNA expression are described by de Jonge et al. and may be used in accordance with the invention to screen or access patients or tumors for p16^(INK4A) expression. De Jonge et al. “AML at older age: age related gene expression profiles reveal a paradoxical down-regulation of P16^(INK4A) mRNA with prognostic significance,” Blood, 114(14), pp. 2869-2877 (2012) which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety and for all purposes as if specifically set forth herein. The assay described in this publication uses quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). To verify the gene expression profiles, quantitative RT-PCR studies were performed using CD34⁺ cells derived from healthy bone marrow and AML samples of persons of various ages. The levels of p16^(INK4B) expression was determined on the isolated CD34⁺ cells derived from healthy bone marrow and derived from AML samples.

The compounds of the invention can be prepared using the general synthetic routes shown in the following schemes and described more fully in the Examples.

Scheme 1 illustrates how compounds of the invention can be prepared starting from chloropyrimidine 1A. Reaction of chloropyrimidine 1A with an appropriate amine provides diaminopyridimine 1B which can be iodinated to form 1C with N-iodosuccinimide. Iodopyrimidine 1C can be reacted with the appropriate zinc reagent 1D to form the unfused bicyclic intermediate 1E which can then be cyclized to form the useful reagent 1F. Reaction of 1F with suitable chloro substituted and protected R¹ groups or precursors (See Scheme 3) may be used to convert 1F to 1G which may then be converted into various compounds of the invention as shown in Scheme 4.

Scheme 2 provides an alternative route showing how compounds of the invention can be prepared starting from bromodichloropyrimidine 2A. Reaction of bromodichloropyrimidine 2A with an appropriate amine provides aminobromochloropyridimine 2B which can be converted to diaminobromopyrimidine 2C by reaction with ammonium hydroxide in isopropanol. Diaminobromopyrimidine 2C can be reacted with the boronic acid reagent 2D to form the unfused bicyclic intermediate 2E which can then be cyclized to form the useful reagent 2F. Reaction of 2F with suitable chloro substituted and protected R¹ groups or precursors (See Scheme 3) may be used to convert 2F to 2G which may then be converted into various compounds of the invention as shown in Scheme 4.

Scheme 3 shows how various R^(1′)—Cl Boc protected compounds may be prepared from the starting amine The Boc-protected chloro-substituted compounds 3B, 3D, 3F, and 3H are useful reagents for preparing compounds of the invention as shown in Schemes 1 and 2.

Scheme 4 shows how Boc-protected compound 4A prepared from Boc-protected chloro compound 3B and 1F (see Scheme 1) can be deprotected to form 4B. The deprotected 4B may be used to prepare a wide variety of derivatives as shown in Scheme 4. For example, reaction of 4B with acetic anhydride can be used to prepare 4C. Similarly 4B can be reacted with commercially available (t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)acetaldehyde and (t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)propanal and then be reduced to respectively form 4D and 4E. As described in Example 5, compounds such as 4B may be reacted with 2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl2-acetoxyacetate to form 4F after treatment with sodium methoxide. 4B may also be used to form compounds such as 4G by treatment with methylchlorooxoacetate followed by reaction with LiOH in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran, methanol, and water. As a final, but non-exhaustive example, compounds such as 4B may be treated with reagents such as commercially available 3,3,3-trifluoropropanal and then reduced to form trifluoromethyl compounds such as 4H. Various other compounds can be prepared from compound 4B. For example, a reagent such as an alkyl chloroformate, for example ethyl chloroformate, may be reacted with the deprotected compound 4B to produce compounds in which R⁶ is —C(═O)—O—(C₁-C₆ alkyl).

The invention is further described by reference to the following examples, which are intended to exemplify the claimed invention but not to limit it in any way.

EXAMPLES

Unless otherwise stated, all starting materials were obtained from commercial sources such as Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo., or were obtained using literature procedures.

¹H-NMR spectra were typically acquired on a Bruker Avance III 500 spectrometer system (Bruker, Bilerica, Mass.) operating at a ¹H frequency of 500.13 MHz, equipped with a Bruker 5 mm PABBI probe with a z-axis gradient; or on a Bruker Avance II 400 spectrometer operating at a ¹H frequency of 400.23 MHz, equipped with a Bruker 5 mm PABBO probe with a z-axis gradient. Samples were typically dissolved in 500 μL DMSO-d₆, CD₃OD, CDCl₃, or another deuterated NMR solvent for NMR analysis. ¹H chemical shifts are referenced to the residual solvent signals from DMSO-d₆ at δ 2.50, CD₃OD at δ 3.30, or other reference solvents, or may be referenced to tetramethylsilane. Significant peaks were tabulated and typically include: number of protons, multiplicity (s, singlet; d, doublet; dd, doublet of doublets; t, triplet; q, quartet; m, multiplet; br s, broad singlet) and coupling constant(s) in Hertz.

Electron Ionization (EI) mass spectra were typically recorded on an Agilent Technologies 6140 Quadrupole LC/MS mass spectrometer. Mass spectrometry results are reported as the ratio of mass over charge, sometimes followed by the relative abundance of each ion (in parentheses).

CDK4, FLT3, and MOLM13 Assays

The CDK4 and CDK1 inhibitory activity of the CDK4/6-FLT3 inhibitors was determined with a filtration kinase assay. The compounds, kinase and substrate diluted in the kinase buffer (20 mM Tris, pH7.4, 50 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT, 0.1% BSA) were sequentially added to a 96-well Multiscreen HTS filtration plate (Millipore). The final 100 μL reaction mixture in each well contained 0.3 μg of CDK4/Cyclin D1 or CDK1/Cyclin B (Cell Signaling Technology), 1 μg of Rb fragment (aa773-928, Millipore) for the CDK4 assay or 5 μg of histone H1 for the CDK1 assay and 1 μCi of [³³P]-ATP. The mixture was incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. The proteins in the reaction were then precipitated and washed with cold TCA solution using an aspiration/filtration vacuum system. The plates were dried at room temperature, and the retained radioactivity was measured by scintillation counting.

The FLT3 inhibitory activity of the CDK4/6-FLT3 inhibitors was determined with a HTRF kinase assay. The FLT3 enzyme (GST-FLT3 fusion) was purchased from Carna Biosciences. An ULight-labeled synthetic peptide derived from human Janus kinase 1 (aa1015-1027, ULight-JAK1, PerkinElmer) was utilized as the phosphoacceptor substrate. The assay was conducted in a 384-well white OptiPlate (PerkinElmer). The 20 μL reaction mixture contained 50 nM ULight-JAK1, 116 μM ATP, 0.0385 ng/μL FLT3 and dilutions of test compounds in the kinase buffer (50 mM Hepes, pH 7.6, 1 mM EGTA, 10 mM MgCl₂, 2 mM DTT, and 0.005% Tween 20). The reaction was allowed to proceed for 1 hour at room temperature and was stopped by adding 20 μL of 10 mM EDTA, 2 nM LANCE® Eu-W1024 anti-phospho-tyrosine antibody in LANCE® detection buffer (PerkinElmer). The plates were incubated at room temperature for 2 hours after addition of detection reagents and then read on an Envision multimode reader (PerkinElmer).

The cell proliferation inhibition potency of the CDK4/6-FLT3 inhibitors was determined by using a [¹⁴C]-thymidine incorporation assay. Exponentially growing cells (MOLM-13, Colo-205, etc.) were seeded in a 96-well Cytostar T plate (GE Healthcare Biosciences) at a density of 5×10³ cells/well and incubated overnight. Serially diluted compounds and 0.1 μCi of [¹⁴C]-thymidine (GE Healthcare Biosciences) were added to each well on the following day. After 72 hour incubation, isotope incorporation was determined with a β plate counter (Wallac). MOLM13 is a human AML tumor cell line expressing FLT3, FLT3^(ITD) and wild type Rb.

IC₅₀ values of the compounds in the above assays were determined by non-linear regression analysis using Prism (GraphPad Software).

The following table includes IC₅₀ values obtained using the procedures set forth above for the Example compounds described herein.

Xenograft Studies

Tumor Growth Inhibition in AML MOLM 13 Xenograft Tumors

The anti-tumor activity of Example 5 against subcutaneous MOLM13 xenograft tumors was demonstrated after treatment with increasing doses of Example 5. The AML cell line, MOLM13, (obtained from American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, Va., USA) was cultured in RPMI-1640 cell growth medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (commercially obtained from Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif. USA). This cell line expresses CDK4/6, one copy of wild type FLT3 kinase and one copy of FLT3-ITD, which results in constitutive activation of FLT3 activity. Therefore, the activity of Example 5 against both FLT3 and CDK4/6 can be tested in this tumor cell. Tumor cells (7.5 million) were injected subcutaneously onto the right flank of CrTac:NCR-Foxn1^(nu) nude mice (commercially available from Taconic Farms, Inc, Hudson, N.Y. USA). Tumors were allowed to grow for 6 days. Mice were then distributed into groups of 10 mice based on ranking of initial tumor volume to achieve groups in which the average tumor size was 250 mm³ Example 5 was formulated in 2% HPMC (Hypermellose; HY122-13; commercially available from Spectrum Chemical Manufacturing Gardena, Calif. USA)/1% Tween-80 (Crillet 4 HP; commercially available from Croda, Inc Edison, N.J. USA) and dosed daily or twice daily 6 hours apart for a total of 10 days with 6.25 mg/kg, 12.5 mg/kg, 25 mg/kg, 37.5 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg, 75 mg/kg or 150 mg/kg. Tumors were measured every other day using two-dimensional calipers and tumor volumes were estimated using the equation Width²×Length×0.5. FIG. 1 shows the calculated tumor volume as a function of time after twice daily dosing with Example 5. Dose-dependent inhibition of tumor growth was observed. All doses were statistically different from the vehicle treated group. Statistical significance was evaluated using RMANOVA on log transformed tumor volume with baseline as covariate. P values are shown in FIG. 1.

Tumor Growth Inhibition in Colo205 Xenograft Tumors

The activity of Example 5 was evaluated in the human colon carcinoma, Colo205, xenograft tumor model. This cell line expresses CDK4/6 but not FLT3. Therefore, this system will measure the activity of Example 5 against CDK4/6. Colo205 cells (obtained from American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, Va., USA) were cultured in DMEM cell growth medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (commercially obtained from Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif. USA). Two million cells were innoculated on the right flank of CrTac:NCR-Foxn1^(nu) nude mice (commercially available from Taconic Farms, Inc, Hudson, N.Y. USA) and allowed to grow for 13 days. Mice were then distributed into groups of 10 mice based on ranking of initial tumor volume to achieve groups in which the average tumor size was 170 mm³ Example 5 was formulated in 2% HPMC (Hypermellose; HY122-13; commercially available from Spectrum Chemical Manufacturing Gardena, Calif. USA)/1% Tween-80 (Crillet 4 HP; commercially available from Croda, Inc Edison, N.J. USA) and dosed daily or twice daily 6 hours apart for a total of 10 days with 12.5 mg/kg, 25 mg/kg, 37.5 mg/kg, or 50 mg/kg. Tumors were measured every other day using two-dimensional calipers and tumor volumes were estimated using the equation Width²×Length×0.5. FIG. 2 shows the calculated tumor volume as a function of time after twice daily dosing with Example 5. Dose-dependent inhibition of tumor growth was observed. All doses were statistically different from the vehicle treated group. Statistical significance was evaluated using RMANOVA on log transformed tumor volume with baseline as covariate. P values are shown in FIG. 2.
